Advances of the environmental economic accounts

National Statistics System

• Sectoral groups for Identification and diagnosis of needs•Statistics operations planification•Quality asegurament•Statistic regulation

Implemented Environmental Economic Accounts

1. Environmental Protection Expenditure Accounts

1.1 Government:

•Income generation at current prices and production account 2009p•Account of capital at current prices 2009p•Total expenditure at environmental protection according to purpose at current prices 2009p•Indicator of government environmental protection expenditure over GDP 2009p

Implemented Environmental Economic Accounts

1. Environmental Protection Expenditure Accounts

1.2 Industry:

• Income generation at current prices and production account 2009p• Account of capital at current prices 2009p• Total expenditure at environmental protection according to purpose

at current prices 2009p

2. Assets Accounts (Stocks) Miner Energetic Resources:

• Physic Account of oil, gas and coal stock1994 – 2010p• Physic Account of iron, copper and nickel stock 2000 – 2010p

Advances of the environmental economic accounts

Environmental Economic Accounts at implementation phase (pilots)

Physic Flow Accounts (from the environment to the economy and inside the economy)

Water:Matrix of utilization for the prioritized sectors at the manufacturing industry (2007-2009p) and households (2005 – 2009p)

Energy:Supply Matrix– Utilization of physic and monetary flows for oil and natural gas 2005 – 2008

Forestry:Supply Matrix– Utilization of physic and monetary flows for timber products 2000 – 2009p

Advances of the environmental economic accounts

Accounts at conceptual and methodological construction

Physic flow accounts (from economy to the environment)

Residues (solid, liquids and air emissions)

• Conceptual Framework of the residues flow account (solid, liquids and air emissions) and it’s relation with the other accounts.

• Tables of correspondence between economic activity, productive process type, product and type of pollutant, according to the classifications ISIC, CCP, y nomenclatures National Accounts base 2005, SNAP/CORINAIR and others.

Waited Products: • Water statistics diagnosis• National strategy for Water account development• Document for the technical viability for the construction of the water

account

CONPES 3700: “Institutional strategy for the articulation of policies and actions at climate change in Colombia”.

• Production of statistic information at climate change• Air Emission Accounts for making decisions
